Ready for your server: Particle Core has versions for Fabric, NeoForge and Forge. Create your world with one of those loaders and a version from the table below. The newest option is Fabric on Minecraft 26.3.

What Particle Core does

Particle optimizations: Culling, rendering optimizations, configurable particle-type-specific spawn reduction, and potion particle disabling. Compatible with Sodium, improves performance over Sodium alone.

Particle Core focuses on one thing: Optimizing particles. Vanilla Minecraft is quite inefficient with particles in a variety of ways. Particle Core aims to improve this.

Does it go on the server or on players' games?

Particle Core is a client-only mod: it doesn't run on the server. Each player installs it in their own Minecraft if they want it. Add it in the panel as "Players only" and it ships inside everyone's modpack.

What other mods it needs

The latest version of Particle Core (Fabric) needs these mods. No need to hunt them down: the panel adds them for you.

How to add Particle Core to your server

  1. Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, NeoForge and Forge, per the table above), or open one you already have.
  2. In the world's "Mods" section, search for Particle Core in the Modrinth catalog. You'll only see what works with your world.
  3. Add it with the "Players only" option, the one the panel suggests for this mod.
  4. Start or restart the server so it installs along with its dependencies.
  5. Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.

Frequently asked questions

Which loader and Minecraft version does Particle Core work with?

Particle Core has versions for Fabric: 1.20 to 26.3 (24 versions); NeoForge: 1.21 to 26.3 (17 versions); Forge: 1.20.1. You pick the loader and version when you create your world; the newest option is Fabric on Minecraft 26.3. The panel's catalog only shows Particle Core if it has a version for your world.

Do players have to install Particle Core?

Particle Core is a client-only mod: it doesn't run on the server. Each player installs it in their own Minecraft if they want it. Add it in the panel as "Players only" and it ships inside everyone's modpack.

What other mods does Particle Core need?

Its latest version (Fabric) requires Fabric Language Kotlin, Fzzy Config and Fabric API. No need to hunt them down: the panel installs them automatically when you add Particle Core, in the version that matches your world.

Is it worth adding Particle Core to the server if it's client-only?

Yes, as a convenience. It does nothing on the server, but if you add it as "Players only", it ships inside the .mrpack modpack and everyone gets it without searching. It uses no server resources.
